Would New York Jets owner Woody Johnson overrule coach Rex Ryan and push to get Tim Tebow on the field as the team's starting quarterback? According to ESPNNewYork.com, citing "two people who know Johnson and know how he runs his football operation," it's a situation that may develop if the Jets continue to struggle.

Johnson already has expressed disappointment in his team's sputtering offense this season during a 2-2 start. The Jets will be in a prime-time showcase at home against the undefeated Houston Texans on Monday night. You can bet there will be even more pressure for Ryan to replace Mark Sanchez with Tebow if the effort resembles anything close to the 34-0 home loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.

Ryan coaches the team and general manager Mike Tannenbaum made the big personnel decisions to get the team to this point. But in the end, it's Johnson who has the ultimate say in taking control of his brand.

When the Jets traded for Tebow, part of the appeal was how well he could represent the team, even if it was in a limited football capacity. With stars such as Darrelle Revis and Santonio Holmes on the shelf for the season, the Jets need to save face. As things keep getting ugly, putting Tebow in position to be a face of the franchise is a pretty good idea.
